Description

The Hybrid Tea Rose 'Mister Lincoln' is highly prized by enthusiasts for its many fine qualities. It captivates with its stunning deep velvety red roses, with a powerful fragrance, one of the most intense among hybrid tea roses. Its generous and prolonged flowering brightens the garden throughout the season, while its long, sturdy stems are ideal for creating beautiful bouquets, worthy of a florist. This vigorous and hardy bush stands out in rose beds!

Rosa 'Mister Lincoln' was created in 1964 by American breeders Herbert Swim and Weeks Rose Growers. This variety won the prestigious All-America Rose Selections award in 1965, recognising its exceptional qualities. Belonging to the horticultural group of hybrid tea roses, 'Mister Lincoln' is the result of cross-breeding the varieties 'Chrysler Imperial' and 'Charles Mallerin'. Hybrid tea roses are renowned for their large, elegant flowers and perpetual flowering, making them particularly popular in gardens and for cutting. ​This 'Mister Lincoln' rose has a bushy, vigorous, and upright habit, reaching a height of 80 cm to 1.10 m and a spread of 60 cm to 1 m. Its sturdy stems are thorny, as is typical for most roses. The flowers are remarkable for their large size, measuring around 15 cm in diameter, and their deep velvety red colour. They consist of 30 to 35 petals and emit a powerful Damask rose fragrance. The flowering is perpetual, lasting from May until the first frosts, with peaks in early summer and autumn. ​ The foliage is composed of leaves divided into toothed, matte dark green leaflets. Young shoots display a reddish tint before turning green at maturity. This foliage is deciduous, meaning it falls in winter and regrows the following spring. 

This rose was named in honour of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, renowned for his role in abolishing slavery and unifying the country. Since its creation, this variety has achieved worldwide success, thanks to its beauty, intoxicating fragrance, and robustness.

Majestic and full of characterRosa 'Mister Lincoln' finds its place in a refined garden where its colour catches the eye. It enhances pathways and enlivens romantic beds or a dedicated cutting garden. Its elegant habit and generous flowering deserve to be highlighted by carefully chosen companions. To create a bright and sophisticated contrast, pair it with Rosa 'Iceberg', for its white roses. At its feet, clumps of Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus' will extend summer with their large purple flowers and golden centres, creating a natural and harmonious scene. In the background, the delicate blue spires of Perovskia 'Blue Spire' will soften the composition. This palette of colours and textures, blending intensity and delicacy, creates perfect harmony.

Planting and care

Plant your 'Mister Lincoln' rose in a sunny spot (or in light shade in very hot and dry regions). Modern roses are tolerant but do not thrive in poor soils. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well-worked, not too heavy, and reasonably fertile. To plant your rose, prepare the soil by breaking it up finely and adding a supplement such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Water thoroughly after planting to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment.

Roses often develop spots or look unsightly by late summer, but this does not affect their growth. These spots are not harmful to the plant; it's a natural occurrence.

Care

Pruning instructions Pruning modern perpetual roses is essential for flowering. It is carried out in three stages: 1. Maintenance pruning: Regularly during the season, shorten the shoots that have flowered. To encourage perpetual roses to rebloom, remove faded flowers along with their stems, including 2 or 3 leaves. 2. Preparatory pruning in autumn: This light pruning anticipates the true spring pruning. In regions with cold winters, it is not recommended to avoid weakening the bush. 3. Spring pruning: In February-March, when the buds have grown into 2-3 cm long shoots, prune young strong branches to a quarter of their length. Pruning always aims to open up the centre of the bush and remove dead wood, diseased branches and weak shoots. Keep the most vigorous ones, usually 3 to 6 well-positioned branches to maintain a beautiful shape. Always prune at a slant, ½ cm or 1 cm above an outward-facing bud.
